psyco33,
I am assuming that you are running an SA-200 and I know that they all burn a little different as far as heat goes, but it sounds like your machine may be set a little too hot in the OCV's. My SA-200 is set at 92 OCV's and I run my root at about 45-47 in 3rd gear......with my hot pass at about 55 in 3rd gear with a 1/8 5P+. If your OCV's are too high you will risk burning out any electrical appliances (grinders) that you run for extended periods of time........I know because I lived the nightmare of replacing triggers in my grinders (Makita 9005B) just about every month or so.
Just my two cents, hope this helps
Sparkee

Sparkee, DC is hard on switches, be sure they are rated for DC. A lot of newer power tools are not rated for DC.

Yeah Dave I have lived that dream also........I only buy tools that are AC/DC. My point was that if the OCV's are too high, then the DC output at the receptacle will be too much for the appliances to handle over a long period.
Thanks for the input,
Sparkee
